What led you to your current profession?
My personal experience with a cancer diagnosis in my early 20's. I went from feeling fearful and afraid to feeling an unexplainable, deep sense of peace. That experience awakened me to the mind-body-spirit connection, and it gave me an endless thirst to learn as much as I can about empowering the mind, healing the body, and honoring the spirit.

What's your superpower?
My intuition is my superpower. I use my intuition to get to the underlying root that is often driving unwanted feelings and behaviors.

What's your favorite thing about what you do?
My absolute favorite thing about what I do is witnessing miraculous transformations in a short amount of time in the hearts, minds, and bodies of both adults and children across the globe. They often come to me after having tried everything and feeling "stuck"....they leave feeling freedom, peace, and joy! There is no greater satisfaction than seeing those amazing changes in them and observing the positive impact it has on their loved ones as well.

What's been the best career advice you've ever received?
The best piece of advice was given to me by a doctor years ago at one of my trainings....he said, "Laurie, my patients don't choose me; I choose them!" He noted that his time and energy is valuable and he doesn't just give it away to everyone. Since then, I have chosen to work with clients who meet this criteria: READY AND WILLING! When I only work with ready and willing clients, I am ignited with passion and energy, and it positively impacts those whom I serve.

Do you have a favorite quote?
"Underneath every behavior there is a feeling...and underneath every feeling there is a need. When we meet that need rather than focus on behavior, we begin to tackle the cause, not the symptom." --Ashleigh Warner
